Angela K. Nickerson | Portfolio

Once upon a time, author Angela Nickerson jetted off to Europe every few months -- writing about her jaunts and escorting small groups of travelers through the bustling streets and glorious museums of Europe’s best destinations. But then Motherhood happened, and with a two-career family, the far-flung travels became less frequent.

Now a Colorado resident, Angela started Mid Modern Mama as a creative space with a wider scope. She is currently focused on dragging their newly-purchased 1958 Atomic Ranch home into the 21st century. The 80’s threw up all over this Mid Modern gem, but Angela and her architect husband are determined to restore its original charm and character always remembering that theirs is a family home, not a museum piece.

As a Colorado Master Gardener, Angela focuses on creating a garden — and gardening content — that informs, inspires, and is based in scientific research. With an emphasis on water-wise gardening practices as well as native species to support biodiversity, Angela’s garden is flourishing and provides habitat for native wildlife as well as a beautiful space for photo and video shoots.

From gardening and home improvement projects to new modes of journaling, photography, sewing, and organizing, Mid Modern Mama reflects the fullness of a creative life.

As a writer, Angela values clear, concise language and compelling storytelling. She writes and ghostwrites for a range of clients — from website revamps to compelling social media campaigns, fundraising literature to travel tips. Both writer and photographer, Angela weaves words, images, and video into powerful features.
